Hidden Assassin Chapter 82 - Small Clash

Chapter 82 Small Clash

There are three medical care facilities...o...b..ard the s.h.i.+p. The nearest one was in the last room on the starboard side of the second deck. The time was just past 8 am. Around the s.h.i.+p, the vast, still expanse of blue water stretched endlessly towards the horizons. The skies were clear, the clouds perfectly mirrored on the surface. The bright scenery on this autumn day was dazzling and invigorating. However, this hardly had any effect on Jiaming’s mood. The ocean scenery made him feel powerless instead, especially at this moment.

“This really isn’t a healthy frame of mind to have. If only there was a good reason to go kill a couple of people, it will definitely help me recover……”

Whenever his heart was feeling vexed, this ingrained chaotic way of thinking tended to worm its way out from the depths of his mind. While appearing to look around aimlessly, he swept his gaze down the sides of the s.h.i.+p and across the pa.s.sageway at the people brus.h.i.+ng past him. It was really a pity, none of them appeared to be trouble making Peroka a.s.sa.s.sins……

The medical facility at the end of the pa.s.sageway was big. On one side were beds and seats separated by screens. In the middle was the doctor’s office. On the other side was a counter selling medical supplies, with an around 40-year-old matronly looking woman seated within. Most of the items displayed on top the counter were condoms from various well-known brands. The flowery, verdant packaging making it resemble the bubble gum you find on supermarket counter displays. Seeing Jiaming coming over, the middle age matron gave a smile. Jiaming smiled back politely, asking: “Auntie, I want some seasickness medicine and a box of pregnancy test sheets.”

Hearing the words pregnancy test, the middle-aged matron’s expression immediately turned a little strange, eyeing Jiaming up and down a few times with a measuring look. She readily handed over a box of seasickness medicine, then went inside, rummaging among the shelves there for the pregnancy tests. At this very moment, the s.h.i.+p’s doctor, wearing a white lab coat came out with a man and a woman. The man was precisely Xu Mo. The woman was someone Jiaming was also a bit familiar with. It was the person who started working at the school at the same time as Chen Guxia. The school doctor, her name should be Li Yunxiu.

“It’s really true enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road, I guess we must have been love rivals in a previous life…” Jiaming helplessly rubbed his nose. As expected, once he spotted Jiaming by the counter, Xu Mo deliberately slowed down his footsteps. Right on cue, the middle age auntie finally came up with the requested item, dropping it on the counter: “Here, the pregnancy tests you wanted, total for both is sixty-eight.

This price is basically highway robbery but at present, Jiaming was naturally in no position to object. As he was taking out some money, the killing intent on his side rose up as Xu Mo charged over. One hand grabbed onto Jiaming’s s.h.i.+rt with the other hand clutching the pregnancy test: “You… you are actually buying this thing, why are you buying it!? Speak!”

“Come on, that should be none of your business, Teacher Xu. The s.h.i.+p sells it, I want to buy….”

“Speak!”

Acting as if he was intimidated by the other person’s imposing manner, Jiaming, smiling sheepishly: “eh, me and a few friends were playing cards in our room, the bet was the loser has to stick a pregnancy test sheet on his face. Otherwise, would I be getting this to test myself as to whether I’m pregnant or not?”

“You’re lying!” Shaking the pregnancy tests in his hands, Xu Mo’s face turned a bit hideous. “Admit the truth, is it……is it because she’s pregnant, you…….” Mostly to protect Yahan’s reputation, Xu Mo didn’t mention her name. However, from his expression and manner, he was quite unhappy with Jiaming’s slight smile, his fingers jabbing out like lightning.

“If you don’t want to lose your fingers, let go of me. What are you to her? Do I have any obligation to explain anything to you?”

The pregnancy test sheets dropped to the floor as Jiaming grasped Xu Mo’s right index and middle fingers. If he applied force, it would definitely break. This should be among one of Jiaming’s consummate skills that he retained from when he was a top a.s.sa.s.sin. The other people watching froze wordlessly. Even though Xu Mo did not teach any of Jiaming’s cla.s.ses, their statuses were still one of teacher and student. However, this was obviously a situation of two rivals feuding over the affections of a lady. Even though she wasn’t too clear as to what was going on, that Li Yunxiu laughed as she stepped forward.

“Eh, this, it’s student Gu Jiaming right? Teacher Yahan has mentioned you. I heard that you’re her junior apprentice brother. This Teacher Xu is also Teacher Zhang’s good friend. Even though I don’t know what has happened between you two, but since we’re all on this s.h.i.+p, you two should at least consider giving Teacher Zhang some face and both take a step back……”

How could she know that Xu Mo’s rage was in fact due to Yahan being involved? The woman that he’s in love with has another man. Even worse that “man” was a very ordinary high school student. And now they even conceived a child together. At this point, Xu Mo’s fervor had reached an extreme danger state, his gaze turning red, body trembling a little. Finally, his left hand with a spasmodic jerk, let go of Jiaming, almost hitting the nearby Li Yunxiu, who let out an “Ah” sound as she moved aside.

After Xu Mo let go of Jiaming’s s.h.i.+rt, Jiaming smoothly let go of his fingers then picked up the pregnancy test sheets as if nothing happened. Xu Mo, feeling he had gone too far, calmed himself down: “Teacher Li, I apologize, I got too excited.”

“Ah, it’s nothing……” Originally, she wanted to say a few words about him being a teacher and such. However, in the end they weren’t that close. These words were better left unsaid. Looking at the youngster called Gu Jiaming paying nonchalantly and examining the pregnancy tests, Li Yunxiu felt a bit amused. She wondered if Teacher Xu had jumped to the wrong conclusion. The kid buying that stuff, it might be for his older sister or mother to use but Xu Mo raised such a ruckus, acting like his girlfriend got s.n.a.t.c.hed. That was what she was thinking. However, in the next moment, that youngster’s words rendered her speechless.

“Eh, auntie, which brand of condoms here are good? Before I used….heh, of course I haven’t used any, only heard people say……that brand is more thin but very safe……haha, I feel like changing to another…… auntie, do you have any that feels good but is also very safe…….heh, of course it’s not for me to use, haha, haha……”

A spurious smile, clumsily covering up the obvious while asking and answering his own questions, in an instant the good impression Li Yunxiu had formed disappeared. The face of the auntie on the counter twitched slightly. A little brat discussing the pros and cons of different condoms with a middle-age matron, how can this be happening……

“I’m going to kill you!”

The first person who couldn’t stand it anymore was of course Xu Mo. Face distorted, he acted to wipe away this abomination. Turning around, he sent a fist smas.h.i.+ng towards Jiaming. Li Yinxiu wanted to stop him but was too late. No matter what, acting so violently towards a mere student was honestly too much. Jiaming instantly stepped lightly to the side. Unable to stop his momentum, the middle-age matron ended up taking the punch on the face. The middle-age matron screamed, stumbled back a few steps then fell on the ground. The doctor promptly went over to check on her. The scene quickly became a flurry of confusion.

Off to the side, Jiaming shrugged his shoulders, seeming as if to say: “You look at this, you look at this……” then with an innocent expression, stepped out of the office, leaving behind the red eyed Xu Mo who was shaking from head to toe.

Xu Mo was but a small fry, it’s pointless to take him seriously. After going out, Jiaming shrugged his shoulders once again, weighing the two boxes in his hand. After a few steps, as he was about to get up on the stairs, a man came jogging up from below. As the man brushed past, Jiaming suddenly gave a start. He looked at the man in front of him with an exceptionally clear gaze, mixed with a hint of coldness and excitement……

“Good, now I can vent a little, it’s been too boring ah……”
